Amanda Knox’s appeal team scores a point in Perugia court hearing
Lawyers appealing against the convictions of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for murdering British student Meredith Kercher have claimed an important victory in court, as a key witness for the prosecution gave confusing and contradictory testimony.
Antonio Curatolo, a homeless drug addict living in Perugia, close to where Kercher was murdered, on 1 November 2007, claims he saw Knox and Sollecito that night near the piazza where he lives.
Prosecutors believe that the American student and her former boyfriend then entered the house she shared with Kercher and fatally stabbed her during a sex game.
